填充缓冲区,按地址作为参数传递

我遇到了一个相当简单的任务问题:我希望在函数中找到一个文件,它将指向缓冲区的指针作为其参数之一。在函数中,缓冲区应该与文件的内容一起存档,稍后将在函数外部使用内容。

然而,它在readFile()内显示的不是正确的内容,而readFile之外的内容则更多。此外,我想以十六进制(%02x)显示文件的内容,但我不知道如何。我正在努力解决指针问题。你能帮帮我吗?

uint8_t *buffer;

int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
    uint32_t i = 0;
    unsigned long fileLen;

    // Read file
    fileLen = readFile(argv[2], &buffer);
    printf("Buffer afterward: %s\n", &buffer);
} 
unsigned long readFile(char *fileName, uint8_t *buffer){
    unsigned long fileLen = 0;
    uint8_t i;

    FILE *file;
    file = fopen (fileName, "r");  /* open the file for reading */ 

    if(file==NULL){
        printf("Error reading %c.\n", fileName);
    return 0;
    }
    fseek(file, 0, SEEK_END);
    fileLen=ftell(file);
    fseek(file, 0, SEEK_SET);
    *buffer=malloc(fileLen+1);

    if(!buffer)
    {
            fprintf(stderr, "Memory error!");
            fclose(file);
            return;
    }
    fread(&buffer, fileLen, 1, file);

    printf("Source message (%s, %ld bytes):\n%s\n", fileName, fileLen, &buffer);
    puts("\n");
    fclose(file);

    return fileLen;
}

这是输出:

'源消息(bla,16字节): blablablub 1234 s sUJZ

之后

缓冲:p`

如果bla的内容是:

blablablub
1234

如果要在readFile函数中分配缓冲区,则假定buffer通过引用传递,而不是按值传递。那就是:

unsigned long readFile(char *fileName, uint8_t **buffer);

因此,当您为其分配内存时,使用malloc()并将地址存储到*buffer,但为了测试分配是否成功,您必须测试*buffer ,而不是buffer。那就是:

if(!*buffer)
{
        fprintf(stderr, "Memory error!");
        fclose(file);
        return;
}

对于该功能的其余部分,您将使用*buffer,而不是buffer

fread(*buffer, fileLen, 1, file);

printf("Source message (%s, %ld bytes):\n%s\n", fileName, fileLen, *buffer);
puts("\n");
fclose(file);

有点令人困惑,因为你说which takes a pointer to a buffer as one of its arguments然后你实际上没有将指针传递给缓冲区,而是将指针传递给一个整数(用作指针,实际上是一个双指针)。

就个人而言,我更喜欢在读取功能之外进行分配,因此不会转移所有权(使内存管理更容易)。类似的东西:

unsigned long readFile(char *fileName, unsigned char *buffer, uint8_t bufferSize){

    // -- read at most x number of bytes (bufferSize) from the file to buffer

    // -- return number of bytes read
    return fileLen;
}

但是要回答你的问题,不是你按指针传递指针,指针应该是正确的,除了你的printf语句是错误的。这个:printf("Buffer afterward: %s\n", &buffer);应该是:printf("Buffer afterward: %s\n", (char*)buffer);

我稍微调整了你的代码:

/**
 * in order to allocate the buffer inside the function you need
 * to pass the address to the pointer
 */
unsigned long readFile(char *fileName, uint8_t **buffer)
{
  unsigned long fileLen = 0;
  uint8_t i = 0;
  char* ch = NULL;
  /* open the file in binary mode to get exact content
     otherwise the fileLen will be wrong */ 
  FILE *file = fopen (fileName, "rb");  

  if (file==NULL)
  {
    perror(fileName);
    return 0;
  }
  fseek(file, 0, SEEK_END);
  fileLen=ftell(file);
  fseek(file, 0, SEEK_SET);

  *buffer=malloc(fileLen+1);

  if(!*buffer)
  {
    fprintf(stderr, "Memory error!");
    fclose(file);
    return;
  }

  /* read into the buffer, note the * in front of the buffer */
  fread(*buffer, fileLen, 1, file);

  /* since you do not know what is in the buffer, the following printf is a bit
     risky, you cannot be sure that the buffer is terminated by a \0 
     printf("Source message (%s, %ld bytes):\n%s\n", fileName, fileLen, *buffer); */
  /* instead do something like this */
  printf( "Source nessage (%s, %ld bytes):", fileName, fileLen );
  for (ch = *buffer ; *ch < *buffer + fileLen; ++ch)
  {
    /* if you want the output in hex */
    printf( "%02X", *ch );
  }
  fclose(file);

  return fileLen;
}
